Let's make sure that government laws and policies protect and support Wikipedians like Johnny Au, and the Wikimedia model of decentralized volunteer-led content governance that enables his work. That should be the the litmus test for any regulation or legislation.
Johnny Au has edited @Wikipedia every single day since 11 November 2007. He makes around 10 edits each day, which adds up to 64,000+ edits in English Wikipedia over the last 15 years.

ALT “Never give up. Fight the good fight. We must fight against misinformation and disinformation.” Quote by Johnny Au, Wikimedia volunteer who has been editing Wikipedia every day for the last 15 years.
A great step forward in defending and expanding freedom of expression worldwide.
Wikipedia volunteers are making the internet better for everyone!
Wikipedia is now recognized as a digital public good by the UN-endorsed @DPGAlliance, highlighting the volunteer communities' role in advancing free and trusted knowledge in 300+ languages.

Why and how the U.S. Section 230 law protects Wikipedia and the broader internet ecosystem on which our people and projects depend. 👇👇👇
Section 230 protects diverse websites and online services from lawsuits for harms content that users post.
Our blog post is a resource to consider how reform or repeal of Section 230 can change the internet as we know it—including the @Wikimedia projects.

God, with all the desperation of our hearts we plead: may it be true that peace will yet come.
